Will they be needing an oil boy by any chance?

Hell yes. The only reason men watch figure skating is to check out the chick's asses...

It's a lot more athletic than "rythmic gymnastics."

I voted yes but really the olypics should eliminate all subjectively scored (judged) sports.

You want to eliminate Women's Gymnastics?

Well it's about the same as the horse thing or the rings when you think about the physical aspect of it. I imagine real athletes would start doing some pretty amazing things on a pole and it wouldnt' be a sexy show like at the strip bar.

Lap dancing would be better.

Olymipc pole dancing! We have truly won the "war of the sexes". Take that feminazis!

Apparently, at this moment, 12 gays have voted....

The olympic village would be more fun, after hours.

As long as it replaces synchronized swimming. Fuck yes!!

Thank God the Cold war is over though...dunno if the world is ready for ripped 170lb East German gals looking like a sasquatch, spinning around a pole.

Sure why not?

Fucking soccer is considered a sport...

Watch this YouTube video of Jenye Butterfly and ask yourself if you know ANYBODY with that much strength and endurance short of an Olympic athlete, not to mention flexibility.

Around here there's a woman who has a fitness class to get women in shape. Yep, you guessed it.

Dang. As a poster commented, "I got tired just watching her." I'll bet she makes a ton of cash touring the strip joints, but with that level of strength and skill she may not have to go the club route. Vegas more likely.

You guys keep yammering about this but mark my words, the medals are all going to go to 14 yo Romanian girls.
There won't be an acrylic platform heel, peacock tattoo or plastic titty in sight.
Be careful what you ask for.

Bear in mind, though, there would be a Men's Division:

Unfortunately.

It is just as legitimate as all of the other subjectively judged olympic events.

LOL, I know Zena. She told me about that two years ago. Meh, whatever.

This. It's so extreme it's hardly sexy anymore. I miss the old days when bitches just took their panties off and spread 'em.

Now it's like Circue DeTrashe, set to bad techno. Meh.

Rythmic gymnastics is close enough.

I'd rather they bring back chess.

Now married guys everywhere will be able to tell their spouses they're at a charity event to support Olympic hopefuls.

I dated the local "Polympics" champ a while ago.

I'd say it required a level of athleticism somewhere between soccer and gymnastics.

She used to say that people would probably pay to see her do her routine with her cloths on. Looks like she was right.
